Thermal Cameras and Blower Door Tests Show Exactly Where Baltimore Homes Lose Heat
If you live in Hampden, Canton, or Federal Hill and your winter bills keep climbing, you need to see where the heat goes. Our thermal cameras show invisible air leaks around windows, outlets, and baseboards before we add insulation. The blower door test measures how much air escapes through your walls and floors.
You can’t fix what you can’t see. Cold spots show up as dark blue patches on the camera screen. We find drafts behind switch plates, under door thresholds, and where pipes enter your basement. Baltimore’s freeze-thaw cycles crack foundation seals every winter. Our audits catch these gaps early so you stop heating the outdoors.
Energy Audits Measure Air Leaks Before You Add Insulation
If you’re planning attic or crawl space insulation in Fells Point or Mount Vernon, start with an audit. The blower door test gives you a leakage number in cubic feet per minute. You can track improvement after we seal air gaps and add insulation. Sealing leaks first makes new insulation work better.
Brick row homes share walls with neighbors. Our auditors focus on rim joists and top plates where your conditioned air escapes into shared cavities. We measure pressure differences between floors to find hidden air paths. The test shows if your attic hatch leaks or if basement band joists need foam sealing.

Auditors Check Attics, Crawl Spaces, and Basements for Moisture and Missing Insulation
If you own an older home in Charles Village or Waverly with an unfinished basement, moisture can ruin your insulation. Wet fiberglass loses R-value and grows mold. Our auditors check for water stains, condensation, and soggy batts in every space.
Baltimore humidity and summer storms create crawl space condensation. We spot ventilation problems before they damage floor joists. The audit includes attic moisture checks too. If your bathroom fans vent into the attic instead of outside, you’ll see mold on roof sheathing. We document these issues in photos so you know what to fix first.
ATTIC TYPES
You Get a Printed Report That Lists Every Problem and Its Energy Cost
If you’re comparing bids for insulation work or applying for rebates, you need documentation. Our report prioritizes repairs by savings. You tackle attic insulation before wall injections because attics lose the most heat. Each line item shows current R-value, recommended R-value, and estimated annual energy waste.
Many Baltimore utility rebate programs require a pre-work audit. BGE’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program covers part of the audit cost when you complete recommended insulation upgrades afterward. The report documents your baseline so you qualify for incentives. You get photos of every problem area with notes on severity. The priority list helps you budget repairs over time if you can’t do everything at once. Our insulation contractors use these findings to complete your upgrades.
Baltimore Row Homes Need Special Attention to Shared Walls and Party Wall Leaks
If you own a row home in Patterson Park or Pigtown and one room stays cold, the problem might be in the party wall. Our auditor checks cavities between units for missing insulation and air paths. Shared walls often have gaps at the top plate where warm air flows into your neighbor’s attic.
Historic district rules limit exterior work in many Baltimore neighborhoods. Energy audits guide interior insulation upgrades that don’t change your home’s appearance. We use thermal imaging to map cold zones behind walls so you know where to inject foam or add dense-pack cellulose. The audit shows if your cold room needs insulation, air sealing, or both.

Clear paths to the attic hatch, furnace, and crawl space, and turn off ceiling fans.
5. Will the audit tell me if I need new insulation or just air sealing?
